Stable terminal UI for Codex and Claude Agent SDK
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe automatic global installation of bundled agent skills creates a concrete agent extension lifecycle risk, though the inspected source does not establish a malicious attack. The bridge’s permission updates are runtime operations and do not add to the lifecycle finding.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Installing the package runs its postinstall script.
Impact
The installed guidance can change which instructions and capabilities are available to the user’s assistants; the blocked-site search skill directs assistants to try multiple access methods.
Mechanism
The installer copies the bundled skill trees into both user skill directories and prunes files not present in the package copy.
AI rationale
The automatic global installation of bundled agent skills creates a concrete agent extension lifecycle risk, though the inspected source does not establish a malicious attack. The bridge’s permission updates are runtime operations and do not add to the lifecycle finding.
Evidence

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 83.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package manifest runs the skill installer during postinstall.
- The installer targets the user’s Codex and Claude skill directories and selects two bundled skills.
- During postinstall, it copies each bundled skill into those directories and prunes files absent from the package copy.
- One installed skill guides assistants to try multiple methods when websites are blocked.
- The bridge’s Claude permission updates are exposed as a runtime request and can target user, project, or local settings.
